Hello: I am very sorry to hear that this happened to you. Generally, in a medical malpractice case in South Carolina you need to show you received below a reasonable standard of care and suffered damages as a result. Typically, you'll also need a medical expert to testify to the malpractice. However, you also need to file the lawsuit two or three years from the date of the malpractice or from when you knew or should have known about it. Actually, were are researching a somewhat similiar case, but each case is usually very fact specific. Probably the best thing would be to contact a lawyer in South Carolina who has medical malpractice experience. Normally, the initial consultation is free. Hope you're feeling better, David
